CHAPTER 4
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1. Angelika keiskei (Ashitaba )crude non-polar extract The crude non-polar extract from the plant Angelika keiskei (Ashitaba) was tested for the anti-bacterial property by using the Kirby – Bauer Disk Diffusion test. There were four 25uL of Ashitaba non-polar extract with different concentrations used which were 12.5 %, 25%, 50% and 100%. In line with this, respective positive controls of the two specimens and negative control were also used. The results are discussed below.
4.1.1. Test against gram positive organism
Triplicates of plates were used to identify the anti-bacterial property of Ashitaba non-polar extract against gram positive organism, Staphylococcus aureus. There were six disk namely the different concentrations of Ashitaba extract (12.5 %, 25%, 50%, 100%), the positive control ( Penicillin) and the negative control ( distilled water).

    Essential oils are used as flavoring for foods and as a fragrance in the perfume and cosmetic industry. They have been proposed as natural preservative agents for cosmetic preparations because of their antimicrobial activities [Mangena 1999]. In view of the increasing use of essential oils in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, it is important to examine the oils from indigenous plants for antibacterial activities.…

    Medicines are one of the most in demand product in the world. Scientists conduct studies to improve medicines for it to become a better and faster treatment to different types of disease, because some bacterium are incompatible to be treated by some medicines. Long ago, in dateless times herbal plants are the only medicine used to treat illnesses and diseases. Up to now, most of the herbal plants are under observation for anti-microbial activity. Antibacterial compounds are from plants that can be phenolic substance like flavonoids. Tannin compounds are polyphenolic compounds that can be found in plants, food, beverages and water-soluble organic solvent; it may also be from several kinds of green plants (Mailoa et al, 2014). One of this is…

    This study aims to compare the chemistry, anti-oxidative and antimicrobial properties of tejpat essential oils and oleoresins.In order to determine the anti-microbial activity of the volatile oil and oleoresins, various food-born pathogenic fungi and bacteria were taken. Oleoresins were obtained by extracting 25 g of powdered leaves with 250 ml of each solvent. The chemical analysis of volatile oil and oleoresins were undertaken by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. GC-MS analysis of cinnamomum leaf volatile oil showed the presence 81 components representing 94.1%of the total amount, and eugenol was the major component in the essential oils of C. tamala leaves. In the antioxidant activity, anti-oxidant potentials of Cinnamomum oil and oleoresins for mustard oil have been evaluated by different methods such as peroxide, p-anisidine, thiobarbituric acid and total carbonyl value method. All samples with essential oil and oleoresins were able to control the oxidation rate of the mustard oil at 60’C than the control. It has also been reported that most natural antioxidative compounds often work synergistically with each other to produce a broad spectrum of antioxidative activities that creates an effective defense system against free radical attack. The malondehyde formation of all the additives increases with storage time. The volatile oil was found to be 100% active against Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus niger, A. oryzae and A. solani but not for A. awamori in inverted petriplate method, though food poisoned method revealed 100% activity for A. niger and Fusarium moniliforme at 6µl dose. It was found to be…

    In aqueous leaf extract of Annona squamosa Linn.of this study however we found that the aqueous extract of leaf has also reported to inhibit the growth of gram negative bacteria strain (Aeromonas hydrophila). Aqueous extract of Annona squamosa in 100% concentration showed highest antibacterial activity against the fish pathogen A.hydrophila with the inhibition zone of 16.5 ± 0.91mm and no inhibition zone was found at 25% and 50% of extract respectively.The positive control Linezolid disc showed the highest inhibition zone of 11.67±1.5mm, distilled water was used as negative control, noinhibition zone was observed in control. Our investigation showed that the antibacterial activity shown by the aqueous leaf extracts of the Annona squamosa Linn. plants is possibly due to the presence of phytochemicals i.e tannins, phenols and…

    This research study aims to prevent diseases caused by Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enteritidis. The study makes use of kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi) leaves and fruit extract as an antibacterial agent that is more or equally effective than the commercialized one and at the same time, available in our environment. Ten Replicates on ten Petri dishes were prepared for each bacteria. Pure cultures of the three bacteria were spread on the replicates. After extracting the needed substances from the kamias leaves and fruit extract, the researchers were able to begin the experimentation. Six treatments were made in the set-up-Treatment A as 100% water served as the negative control; Treatment B as 100% Kamias leaves extract; Treatment C as 50% Distilled water and 50% Kamias leaves extract; Treatment D as 100% antibiotics was used as the positive control because of its known antibacterial properties;…

    Mwambete believes it's important to test plants like ampalaya in attempt to find new ways to fight microbial infections. Several microbial infections, including respiratory infections and bacterial meningitis acquired in hospitals, and diseases such as those that are sexually transmitted are showing resistance to the commonly used antibiotics ampicillin, penicillin and fluoroquinolones. This increasing trend in antibiotic-resistant illnesses is due to several factors including mutations of the microbes, irrational use of antibiotics, poor quality drugs and patient non-compliance, the study author notes.…
